You are buying a New Gabriel Classic Front Shock Absorber. Fits Late 1957-66 all Studebaker models and 1963-85 Avanti & Avanti II.

Gabriel was an original Studebaker & Avanti shock absorber for many years. These high quality shocks enable your Studebaker & Avanti to perform like new!  

Whether your ride is from the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, or 70’s – or a limited registration – you can restore the handling and stability of your vehicle with the high-quality Gabriel® Classic® shock absorber.

Classic or collectable car owners can now have modern ride technology with the Gabriel Classic shock. Gas charged designs resist compression and improve rebound to keep your tires in contact with the road, while also reducing the fluid foaming that may degrade damping and lead to fade. And a 1 3/16" piston bore gives your classic or collectable a step up in performance and handling.

Gabriel Classic dampers are specifically designed and created to fit your classic or collectable car. Application-tuned to meet the specific needs of your vehicle, Gabriel Classics ensure excellent handling, stability and control, without compromising driving comfort.

And like all Gabriel shocks and struts, Classic shocks come with a super-finished chromed piston rod to reduce wear and ensure proper seal lubrication
